TODAY IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Why, you ask? This is why: Bernardo Coppola was Rachel and my Boot Camp trainer at Gold’s Gym. I WAS OBSESSED (see previous post-My Best Gay Boyfriend). So imagine my surprise and delight when I came across this gem while checking out Ryan Reynold’s Angeleno cover for yesterday’s Wednesday Would You Rather. A-MAZING!! Two minutes
